timing gear Grizzly 660 check timing gear + ?

[Tahj]

I am looking to see why my 2005 Grizzly  660 won't crank. I have set the valves but suspect a loose timing chain.

When working to remove the valve cover I found a "cap tensioner case" - parts #25  - #299 on Babbitts site.

The  cover seems to bridge the valve cover and the cylinder head. What the hell is it and what surprises will I  find if I remove it?

Uncharted territory for me.

Won’t crank how? Does it turn by hand? Loosen the cap to the crank and put a socket on it and turn counter clockwise. Then report back

Past that now- it did crank with the plug out.

I pulled the valve cover. The cam gear is about a quarter turn out of time by the dimples when the timing mark is right on.

I have ordered a cam gear and timing chain and am about to go into the stator, rotor and starter gear.

New territory for me.

Are your valves okay? Yes. Go ahead and replace the chain and tensioner. Move your cam sprocket to in time. You may have to roll it back some because once the tensioner tightens it will roll your cams slightly
